managers are very sly and big gossips, all talk about employees behind their back. Cannot confide in your manager without the rest of your team knowing. Emails are sent around talking about people. Really bad brand to sell - clients hate the Kelly brand and it is still known as very high street. You are almost laughed at!!!! Have no budget so all functions stopped ie end of year awards. Very poor commission structure they retain 25% of your commission til the following feb. No room for progression

Advice to Management

Get new ones who are less bitchy and actually able to be show consultants how to make money rather than people who have just been there forever and hard to shift from company.

The people were great to work with, I met a great deal of different people and cultures, and I was able to travel and progress my career through the time I was there

Cons

Politics, lack of structure or vision - there was never a clear roadmap for IT services and management were often changing their mind as to the company goals, there was also a high turnover at management level, a clear favor for single workers without families

Advice to Management

Get some clarity and unity on what the goals are for the company and communicate them better.

I started working for Kelly in 2003 in a role that was created for me based on my talent and experience. I've experienced development, significant promotion, reward & recognition since then. The best asset that Kelly have are it's people. The support people are willing to give no matter how busy they are is amazing. Sadly, I was TUPE'd from Kelly in 2009 but when I was presented with an opportunity to come back I jumped at the chance.

Cons

Though it is a global company we are quite a small unit in the UK in comparison which has limited the speed in which others can be promoted within. It does also mean that you have to wear lots of different hats to get the job done. Good experience gained as a result though.

Advice to Management

Due to low headcount resource many individuals are working long hours to get the job done which makes the company less desirable to stay with.

Kelly is passionate about delivering excellence and everyone who works for the organisation is clear on this mission. Leadership at Kelly is transparent, accessible, open and encouraging. Talent and contribution is appropriately recognized and individual development taken seriously. A warm and honest employer, working for Kelly is recommended to anyone who wants to learn from the best, work with the best, and be their best.

Cons

Every business needs improvements but I firmly endorse that Kelly is an organisation that listens - to its employees, its clients and the market, in order to change and grow in the right way. Everyone at Kelly can own this continual improvement, it's what makes us different.

Advice to Management

Monitoring of same/similar positions within the industry is key to ensuring the best possible talent is attracted and maintained. Compensation and Benefits should be reviewed regularly to achieve competitive advantage for all employees.
